    Good potential for a comic story

    Chobin, boy who is fearless and adventurer that threatened by an evil creature. Each episode has its own monster. The salient point is that there are some interesting monsters. I think it has a good potential for a comic story.

    For the first time I watched this cartoon at the age of 8. Me and my cousin when we arrived back from the school every Monday were eager to see it. It is interesting that our TV was black and white in those days.

    Now after 25 years I watched it again and I have same old feeling (but this time was in color)! Those who love sci-fi anime will love this one. Check this out and I promise you won't regret.

    7/10
